"... committee staff director and former super lobbyist Gary Andres personally has been calling the CEOs of major Silicon Valley tech companies, hammering them for coming after Upton and spooking Mayday's donors, who worry their companies will get rougher treatment when and if Upton survives."

This is precisely what government corruption and abuse of power looks like, folks.

Fred Upton is making thinly veiled threats of regulatory payback against the companies he has legislative power over as chairman of the Energy and Commerce Committee. The CEO's have drawn his ire because they made large donations to Mayday PAC which is running ads against him in favor of a candidate who actually supports reform.
